What I got in NYC

HM gave me a gift certificate to Purl Soho (Thanks HM!!) and I made an effort for a focused purchase. I went with one of their patterns, the rib-wise tank. I admit it's more of a summer knit, than for the fall, but maybe it will languish in the stash until spring. Don't be surprised, I won't be.

I also got myself a project bag souvenir.

Then I fingered a bunch of samples and was drawn to some soft textured scarves. It turned out a) it was cashmere and b) a kit I could find elsewhere. But I went with the moment.

Xmas husband gift in the plans ... Must add a note to not wash. He shrinks and felts and washes his entire world.

We got a family package promo (always check the hotels website, compare with discount portal sites AND call for best deals). This jr. Suite deal came with a free haircut for dad at the barber shop and blow out for mom.

Do you know what these things are? They wash your hair and blow dry style it. I have never done this before. It was very Barbie and very fun. I asked for more volume than sleek (since I usually am an air dry flat boring town kind of gal). But not so much volume as a Southern Belle. (No seriously, this is a style you can request, I'm not mocking anyone.)

So here we go before (yes, tired, no coffee.) My head is really big, non?

After with tucked ears:

Haha!

Do you try new things on holiday with your look or style?

Do you go yarn crazy away from home of do you think of the stash and / or what will fit in carry-on?
